This was my second time at the Butcher Shop. As with the first the food was very good and presented extremely well. The style is what I would call old classic with a lot of beautiful hardwood.

The ambience was nice but there was some distraction with another table had an infant that continue to cry loudly throughout the entire time we were there. I would have thought That the restaurant will have seated families with children in a separate dining area from adults especially couples.

All in all it was a great evening and experience and I will probably be back.

The service was excellent up to the time our dinner plates were cleared. It was busy, and we waited, and waited for our server to introduce the dessert menu. After taking our dessert order, we waiting an unreasonable amount of time for our dessert to be served. An embarrassing disappointment end for a friend's birthday. :(

Went to celebrate anniversary room kept filling up with more people sat a party of 7 next to us. Steak had to be sent back not cooked right service so disappointed not going back to a while very disappointed

I had the chicken piccata dishes, chicken good, very tender, vegetables were over cooked, mushy. The other two in party had sandwiches from the value menu. The sandwiches were big, also came with salad and side. The side of vegetables with sandwich was also left untouched. But good value over all as each sandwiche order took half a sandwich home.

Arrived early than our reservation but they sat us right away. Food was delicious as usual. Service was very good and attentive in the beginning but slowed considerably when the dinner rush was in full swing. Our dinner here took 2 full hours. The last 30 minutes was waiting for dessert and the check. We’d still be back but just allow extra time if you have anything planned after dinner.

We absolutely love this restaurant and have always gotten great service and wonderful food. The bartender was delightful and the drinks we wonderful. Not a every night type of place but exceptional for special occasions or when you just want to soak in the atmosphere. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and everything was perfect.

We were a little disappointed since we were expecting a little bit more of the Chicago-style ambiance of an old time steak house. Experience was just "ok". Food was good just not special and service was just ok, nothing special. Afterwards, realizing we were in San Diego we wish we would have opted for a seafood restaurant instead. Oh well.

We all had beef of some sort. Potato skin appetizer was fair, too much potato so they weren’t at all crispy. Porterhouse was very average as was prime rib. Beef tenderloin medallions with blue cheese was good as was lava cake dessert. Wine list was shockingly limited for a steakhouse at this price point. Only 5 or 6 Cabernet Sauvignon on the list and it topped out with a low end Stags Leap. Service was great and ambiance very appropriate for an old school steak house.

We have dined at the Butcher Shop several times before while visiting San Diego. It has become one of our favorites. We were in town so chose the Butcher Shop to celebrate Valentine's Day and had another wonderful dinner. We had shrimp cocktail starters, my husband had the soup and I had the spinach salad. Then for dinner we enjoyed melt-in-your-mouth filets accompanied by perfectly prepared vegetables. For desert we chose the mixed berries atop a decadent cream sauce. The service was second to none and on a VERY busy evening; the quality of food was top notch; and the price very reasonable. We love the ambiance of the red leather booths contrasted against the rich dark stain of the walls, white linens and ornate lighting. THE BUTCHER SHOP IS "A REAL GEM"!!

It was my husband’s birthday and it was our first time at your restaurant.. service and food were awesome! Too bad that your prices are on the expensive side so only for special occasions would we be back...

Our server Elsa had a nice personality, and was quite conversant with the menu and knowledgeable about the preparations each dish. The port wine sauce/bleu cheese combo on the beef was amazing- should have saved some bread to get it all! The pasta primavera exceeds expectations. Instead of swimming in a cream sauce with tiny unidentifiable bits of veggies, this was delicately seasoned fettuccine with tiny tender spring vegetables. Lovely ambiance, especially the fireplace, molding, beams, photos. The tables (in the front room, at least, were close and others’ conversations were inescapable. Good music selections

It was my birthday, and, because my husband passed away three years ago, I decided to go to dinner by myself. All of my relatives live on the East Coast, and the friends I have here in San Diego work or they are infirmed due to their age. So, I made an appointment for ONE person at 4:00 pm. I also mentioned that it was my birthday (true!). When I arrived at the restaurant, I had my "choice" of seating .. but it looked so lonely .. to be sitting by myself, that I asked the waitress if it would be OK to eat at the bar. She said it was absolutely fine. So I did. I didn't talk with any of the patrons, but the female bar attendant did engage me in conversation. It was very kind of her, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to talk wth someone. I also received a free piece of cheese cake for my birthday, which was a welcome surprise. And, "Yes," I did treat myself to one class of cabernet that the waitress suggested. Still, it was a lonesome experience, but I did the best that I could, under the circumstances. And my meal was just fine.

Great meal. 2 sunset dinners ordered both top sirloin, baked potato, Caesar salad, scoop of ice cream. 1 prime rib dinner, baked potato, spinach salad, and one 7oz filet with bacon and onion bits, baked potato and spinach salad. Meat was done to order, very good, flavorful. potatoes cooked perfectly with all the trimmings. Very good price point for all items. I have dined on many occasions. Never disappointed.
